I’ve watched them come and going, when they go they really do But when I say I’m gonna stay I really mean it
I’ve seen about a thousand, but in that thousand, none was me Unless you’re reading history and I ain’t reading it You know a thousand ways to cry
I’ll hear 'em all before I die
You know a thousand ways to cry
And this is just one of mine
I’ve watched them come and going, it takes a while but in time they do But I was there when I didn’t wanna be Yeah, you say you love me, and then you my best qualities
And other people and- yeah, I think it’s what you need
You know a thousand ways to cry
I’ll hear 'em all before I die
You know a thousand ways to cry
And this just one of mine
